Northern Lights was a music program on the Radio One and Radio 2 networks of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, hosted by Andrea Ratuski of CBC Winnipeg. Airing weeknights at 11:00 p.m. or 11:30 p.m. Newfoundland on Radio One and at 4:00 a.m. or 4:40 a.m. Newfoundland on Radio Two, the program featured two hours of essentially continuous classical music recordings.
In the CBC's programming changes of 2007, Northern Lights was discontinued, and was replaced by Nightstream on Radio Two.
Famous quotes containing the words northern and/or lights:
“The note of the white-throated sparrow, a very inspiriting but almost wiry sound, was first heard in the morning, and with this all the woods rang. This was the prevailing bird in the northern part of Maine. The forest generally was alive with them at this season, and they were proportionally numerous and musical about Bangor. They evidently breed in that State.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Thus while I sit and sigh the day
With all his borrow’d lights away,
Till night’s black wings do overtake me,
Thinking on thee, thy beauties then,
As sudden lights do sleepy men,
So they by their bright rays awake me.”
—Sir John Suckling (1609–1642)
